About the iSimple iPod®/Auxiliary Input Adapter for Subaru
Just because you've got a factory radio in your car, doesn't mean you have to leave your iPod at home, along with the hours and hours of music you've loaded onto it. Just install iSimple's iPod adapter — it not only allows you to listen to all your favorite tunes through your car's speakers, it even lets you control song and playlist selections right from your radio.
You'll keep the use of your satellite radio, plus get a handy auxiliary input for connecting an MP3 player, game, or other source. You can also use this adapter to get SIRIUS Satellite radio with the help of a SIRIUS tuner.
Note: Your Subaru radio must have a "SAT" button to work with this adapter. Factory radio must not be an AM/FM/6-disc in-dash changer. Be sure to check the "Details" tab to make sure this interface will work with your iPod.

- control your iPod with the factory radio in select satellite-ready Subaru models
- auxiliary input for additional sources

Good kit. Instructions could have been a little better, had to call customer support a couple of times, but they were very helpful and I got it all figured out. Everything works as it should.
